Comments: The time has come. While there was some positive response to the production design, casting, and musical numbers, most of the response resembled the following excerpts from Wikipedia's "critical response" section for Cats: "With its grotesque design choices and busy, metronomic editing, Cats is as uneasy on the eyes as a Hollywood spectacle can be, tumbling into an uncanny valley between mangy realism and dystopian artifice." "It's Battlefield Earth with whiskers." 'Ty Burr of The Boston Globe's one half-star review said "there are moments in 'Cats' I would gladly pay to unsee" and warned small children to not watch the film.' "'a clear career low' for most of the actors" "dreadful hairball of woe." "criticized the direction and effects, and warned that the film would appeal to furries." "I have seen sights no human should see"
